From the transcript
Okay. So we were having conversations, Senator Sullivan, Senator Murkowski, and the Haida director mostly were talking about illicit drugs in Alaska, and one of Murkowski's aides said we should write Bruce's law. And I, you know, the conversation went on, and then I got a call after the meeting was over and Senator Murkowski said, we, you know, we'd like to start having meetings on Bruce's Law. And that's how it started. So Michael Troster, the HIDTA director, and myself and Senator Murkowski's staff started meeting every Wednesday and drafting Bruce's Law, which provides federal prevention and awareness campaigns through the Health and Social Services Department around illicit drugs, particularly illicit drugs that are contaminated with fentanyl.
